The Weekly Wrap exists to catch you up on the stories you might have missed. And if you missed the big news this week, boy are you in for some exciting reading: Apple announced a new release of OS X. But while that announcement and its aftershocks dominated the week’s news, we wrote about a few other things as well.

Mountainless Lion

Of course, Mountain Lion’s official release is months away; Apple says it’s not coming until late summer. So while we’re all stuck with this now geriatric-seeming Lion OS instead, let’s at least make the most of it.

If you crave software reviews like mountain lions crave deer meat, we’ve got you covered: We reviewed SkipTunes, a menubar utility for controlling music playback. We gave Pacifist the ever-elusive five-mouse rating. And we also looked at My Living Desktop, which makes some of us think of a computer/zombie apocalypse.

So yes, it was a pretty busy week here at Macworld, and we hope we’ve helped you get caught up. We’ll see you here next Saturday, presumably to wrap up Apple’s announcements surrounding the next new version of Mac OS, 10.9 Jungle Elephant.
